According to the articles I have read, federal regulators expected to get 17,000 claims per year for arbitration.
I have no idea where that number came from, but most estimates of surprise billing before the law was passed suggested that 2 million such bills a year were being sent by providers.
It doesn’t take much activity to beat the heck out of a 17,000 estimate. I do not think that high volumes necessarily show that the law was not properly implemented. If am incorrect, let me know.
